What is the Fibonacci sequence?

The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, and so on. It starts with F₀ = 0 and F₁ = 1.

How is the Fibonacci sequence related to the golden ratio?

As n increases, the ratio of consecutive Fibonacci numbers (Fₙ/Fₙ₋₁) converges to the golden ratio φ ≈ 1.6180339887. This convergence is a fundamental property of the sequence and is visible in the tool's ratio column.

How large a Fibonacci number can I calculate?

The calculator uses BigInt arithmetic, which supports integers of arbitrary size. You can compute Fibonacci numbers at positions well into the thousands — F₁₀₀₀ has 209 digits — without overflow or approximation.

Does the sequence start with 0 or 1?

The calculator follows the standard mathematical convention: F₀ = 0, F₁ = 1. Some sources omit the initial 0, but the zero-indexed version is standard in number theory and computer science.

What is the time complexity of computing the nth Fibonacci number?

The calculator uses iterative addition, which runs in O(n) time. This is much faster than the naive recursive approach (which is O(2ⁿ)) and is sufficient for the n values supported by the tool.

Fibonacci Calculator

The Fibonacci sequence starts with 0, 1, and each subsequent number is the sum of the two preceding ones (0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13…). The ratio of consecutive terms converges to the golden ratio (φ ≈ 1.618). Our free Fibonacci calculator generates sequences and finds the nth term instantly.
